• Spatial patterns of wood traits in China are controlled by phylogeny and the environment (2011, background): “Knowledge of the spatial patterns of wood traits is essential for understanding possible changes in ecosystem functions under different global change scenarios, as wood traits are highly relevant to ecosystem biogeochemistry, tree growth and mortality and plant life-history strategy (van Gelder et a”
• How much variation in tree mortality is predicted by soil and topography in Central Amazonia (2011, background): “Chao et al. (2008) suggested that tree attributes may be stronger determinants of tree mortality than environmental drivers such as soil, topography and climatic disturbances.”
• Abiotic and biotic drivers of biomass change in a Neotropical forest (2017, background): “Although mortality may be well predictable at the individual scale (Chao et al. 2008), species scale (Poorter et al.”

• Causes and implications of the correlation between forest productivity and tree mortality rates (2011, background): “Causes of geographic variation in tree mortality rates have been explored in only a handful of studies (e.g., Chao et al. 2008, Lines et al. 2010; Dietze and Moorcroft, in press), without a systematic consideration of a range of hypotheses explaining the relationship between tree mortality rates…”
